Forged LQ9 build help!!! I have some knowledge on Ls series but still have a lot to learn. i want to ask you the experts on your opinion on a few things.
I know that when you build a motor normally you build it specific to your Cam specs. I bought the motor as is and was told it was built to be all motor car that could handle 200 shot of nitrous.
My goal is to go all motor route with no Nitrous but find a perfect cam to balance tq and power through Rpm's to maintain street ability.
Q:
For this motor set up what cam do you recommend?
Also if i was to boost what Cam?
and how much power should this block hold consistently with this setup?
Motor Specs:
LQ9 Iron Block
Bored to 6.1L (370 cubic inch)
J.E. Forged Pistons Flat Top with 5 Valve Release
HellFire Piston Rings Gaped to 20 thousands
Clevitte H series Bearings
Eagle Forged H beam Rods Height 6.125
Ls1 Crank Balanced with rotating assembly
Ls3 head
